Book flights to Košice (KSC) – marvel at centuries of architecture

Take a long walk through the historical city centre, the largest protected urban area in Slovakia by surface area. The most important building is the St Elisabeth Cathedral, an imposing Gothic building and the biggest church in Slovakia, towering over the whole city. The fifteenth-century high altar is decorated with 48 Gothic murals. Climb the north tower and enjoy an incredible view over the city and its surrounding countryside. The old town with a beautiful pedestrian zone surrounds the cathedral. The heritage of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy cannot be missed here – you will find many beautiful buildings from the period, ranging from classicism to art nouveau. Passageways lead to small winding alleys dotted with shops and bars. A historical horse-drawn tram passes through the pedestrian zone at regular intervals.

You can see the remains of the medieval city wall in the Archaeological Museum at the end of the pedestrian zone. Between the cathedral and the imposing theatre, there is a beautiful park where water fountains dance to music several times a day. Escape to the surrounding region and visit the impressive ruins of Spiš Castle, a perfect destination for a long hike in the Carpathians. In winter you can also choose between two different skiing regions here. At the beginning of October, Košice plays host to the oldest marathon in Europe, held here since 1924. Let yourself be treated to Slovakia’s hearty cuisine as well, such as Halušky, a kind of noodles with sheep’s cheese and bacon. An excellent wine is grown in the Carpathians on the border with Hungary – take a couple of bottles home with you as a souvenir of your trip to Košice.
